Venomiss, Major Moves Right Around The Corner

Born in Newark, New Jersey, female emcee Venomiss is not only a creator of music but also a fan of Hip-Hop who was raised throughout Orange, East Orange, and Montclair (New Jersey) and even briefly in Queens, New York. Her fascination with Hip-Hop began at the age of eight as her older cousins pursued a recording deal. Hip-Hop was all around her as New Jersey had many hot artists at the time. She used to put on shows in the living room reciting every song that came on. She could probably beat anyone in a game of 90’s Hip-Hop trivia because of it.

Music became her bright spot during dark times in her life. She decided to pursue rapping herself at the age of 13 starting out in street battles and cyphers. By age 16 she was everywhere that Hip-Hop was performing in small showcases, open mics, talent shows, and battles. She even went on to start to create her own record label. By her teens and college days, she was making a name for herself by performing and battling and found some success online with over 40,000 page views and 20,000 downloads of her music. She won a few competitions while in college and headlined an event at the school as a result.

While working on music and promoting herself, Venomiss was asked about lending her Hip-Hop knowledge to several blogs and small magazines. She developed a great reader following and fan base and continues to write and promote her own music as well. She is currently promoting her well received singles, “CLAP” and “They Want;” putting the finishing touches on the untitled EP (due late Spring of 2015); doing shows; and continuing to work on her journalism. The next major move for Venomiss is right around the corner as her artistry grows!
